Description
Midsummer Cottage is a house dating from 1742, as indicated by the datestone. It is constructed of limestone rubble and features a partly old plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. The cottage has a two-unit plan that extends to the rear and consists of one storey plus attics. The front has two windows and a rough plinth, with a central door situated between casement windows—three-light on the left and altered to two-light on the right—both of which are set under brick segmental arches. There are also two two-light roof dormers. Above the door, there is a County Insurance plaque, and to the left of the door is the datestone inscribed with "RM/1742". To the left of the cottage, there is an outbuilding with a higher roof and an additional dormer. At the rear, there is a 19th-century rubble wing with a further 20th-century extension. The interior has not been inspected. Midsummer Cottage forms an L-shaped group with the adjacent property, Alflyn.
